Dear Maintainer,

I am now using the attached kernel hook, installed in
/etc/kernel/install.d/59-gen-ukify-conf.install, in order to have my
/etc/kernel/uki.conf file automatically populated with the current
kernel’s supported dtbs using stubble’s finddtbs.py script.

Since stubble is a dependency of this, it seems to be a good place to
propose this script in an extra binary package if users want to have
their /etc/kernel/uki.conf too.

Since this is a distro thing I did not raise this issue to upstream
proper, but if you this it would make more sense please let me know.

I am thinking of having an extra "stubble-ukify" binary package that
installs this hook (probably in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d instead of
/etc?) so that stubble can be very easily be used on final systems
with the kernel hook calling its finddtbs.py script.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Agathe.
